The European Union is a supranational organisation whose goal is to strengthen economic integration and cooperation between member countries. It was established with the aim of reintegrating peace between the countries in this area and Europe itself with the rest of the world. The European Union provides incentives to its citizens in many ways, one of which is through its funds. One of these funds is also intended to finance youth education and youth mobility, with a view of involving youth in the political, economic and educational spheres. These funds are financing youth programs, one of the firsts was the Youth in Action program which was adopted for the period of 2007.-2013. This program was of particular importance for Croatia as the European Union in 2011. included Croatia in participating in this program even though it was not its member country at that time. The program that is currently being enforced is Erasmus + and it has been simplified and integrated with its goals, conditions and budget for the period of 2014.-2020. The Erasmus + program is a guide for young people to participate in European lifestyle through various workshops, projects, seminars, courses and much more. Erasmus + is not just training young people and helping them acquire new skills but above all, it is raising awareness of the importance of lifelong learning in a European context that complements national education reforms and policies to modernise education.
